This is a 498" oval port engine we dynoed a few weeks ago.
Hyd. Roller, pump gas.

I personally use Synergen in my race engines and motorcycles.

It's very hard to argue with Rotella T though. It's economical and easy to find, as well as an excellent oil.

I've had great results with 3M super duty rubbing compound followed up with a finer finishing compound and then a glaze. I use a orbital polisher.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I've been on here for a while, just mostly reading and such. I'm actually an outboard guy myself and I spend some time on S&F.
Unfortunately, that place has gone a...

Matching the head to the cubic inch and rpm is paramount. We have build combinations that made over 700hp with a GM 781/049 oval port head. You have to be careful not to fall into the "bigger is...

A little block filler goes a long way too. Remember, the fill amount and cylinder flex reduction are not a linear equation. If you fill a block 25%, it may reduce flex by 35%...it's exponential to a...
